Gerri Ayers
President
Gerri started a group and incentive travel company, Travel by Ayers in 1982, to allow her to work from home after the birth of her daughter. The business evolved with a focus on meetings and events, which prompted changing the name to Ayers Meetings & Events, now one of the largest independent meeting planning companies in Houston, Texas. Gerri's attention to detail, positive attitude, and passion for her work have been fundamental to the success of the business.
Gerri is a native Houstonian and graduate of the University of Arkansas. She currently serves on the Board of Directors for the YMCA of Greater Houston, the Katy Family YMCA and The University of Arkansas Alumni Association. Married to Dean Ayers since 1977, she has two children, Allisyn and Robert, and grandson, Hudson.
